Darraji told the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA / said that the State of Law Coalition and the National Alliance as well as the rest of the blocs, which are consistent with them, will go decisively to pass the budget as soon as possible, in spite of the attempt by some other political blocs to disable it, pointing out " in the event of failure of the committee that formed to resolve differences in the budget, we will try to approve it by parliamentary majority."


He added, "The budget is the right of the Iraqi people, not a political issue can play with and make maneuver, because it touches the economic situation of the country and citizens, noting that" the Constitution and the bylaws of the House of Representatives allows adoption of the majority without interoperability in passing laws .
